Who plans to go this year?

[1exotic]

We all know when the auto show is.... and we are all going.

[03aspec]

i dunno, i feel the auto shows are too focused on small fuel efficient cars nowadays, which i have absolutely no interest in.

[murd0c]

So you go to the auto show you fill out tons a ballots cause you want something free, they then sell your numbers to these BS telemarketer and you will get carge calls for the next 6 months so be carefull.

[Euro7r]

$15buxs on weekends. wasn't it cheaper the previous years?

I'd rather go to the car dealer and sit in their cars for free instead. Heck I can even test drive them. Ridiculous admission costs for the auto show.

[GC8]

im going to see the sr group r8 haha

[hk20000]

im going to see the sr group r8 haha

they only show brand new cars no?

[skyxx]

Anyone have the floorplan for the autoshow?

[sexyaccord]

So you go to the auto show you fill out tons a ballots cause you want something free, they then sell your numbers to these BS telemarketer and you will get carge calls for the next 6 months so be carefull.

you fill it with fake info man

[AzNightmare]

^Then that defeats the purpose. You might as well not fill the ballots then, since you won't win anything if your fake info is drawn...

I've been there the last 4 years in a row... Think I will possibly pass this time. Doesn't seem to be worth it anymore. Can't believe the previous gen STI was ALWAYS locked every year.
What a load of BS. Not like that car is even an exotic... The 350Z and S2K was unlocked... even some of the BMW's and Benz were unlocked... I don't get it.

[PavelGTR]

Yeah i'm going. Hopefully this year its not full of fucking hybrids.

[DasHooch]

I was just at the Calgary Auto Show. Lots of hybrids on display.

Vancouver will have at least one fuel cell car on display (not a super new one though).

Any car can be unlocked if you ask. Helps if you look like you would buy one.

[van_driver]

honestly...I think it's getting really boring

[Dinan3]

I'm going for sure, just like every other year.

[KinseySS]

honestly...I think it's getting really boring

I have to agree, but I'll be going anyway ... sigh.

Hey I remember going to a tuner show a couple years ago at BC place, Is that still being done does anyone know?

[q0192837465]

lol, i've never been to the auto show. Maybe i'll finally go this year

[[RSX-S]]

Here's a sneak preview of the i-Miev that Mitsubishi will be showing... :)

[CDN-R32]

I havn't been in years so it should be something new again, thanks for the details of it.

[Rich Sandor]

I should be working the Ford booth on one of those days.

[TRDood]

what date is the chinese day, so I can go for half off!
=)

i still get suckered into it every year... usually i have a pretty good time since i get to sit in every car =D

[Synaptik]

yes. because i'd love to pay $15, in this economy, to go and look at cars i can see on the road or dealership and read up online on, and to check out those few exotics that i won't be able to sit in anyways.

April 2nd

[skyxx]

Apparently, Spyker will make a debut at the auto show.

[BlackRCode]

im going to see the sr group r8 haha

saw this r8 today while setting up my booth! SOO NICE!!! its sharing a booth with a flat black Lambo and Merc (both drool worthy!)

I'm working the WirelessWave booth so come by and say "HI" we will have tons of pens, lanyards,, keychains and other swag to give away.... ALSO we're doing hourly draws for Sony Ericsson Wireless Aircards!

can't wait to check out all the sweet cars and bike there this week!!

[K-Dub]

I got free admission because of the Prius thing...so yea I guess I'll go.

[GordonTse]

i go every year. and this year i got free tickets from work. :D

[skyxx]

Man, Every year I go. Canucks play on the day I go...... damn it Stupid "Easy park"....:cry:

[EuroTRASH]

^lol i get free tix from work too...and I'm still not sure if I'm interested enough to go hahaha.

[1983 Z28]

I went to the press deal thinger this morning. Reasons to go:

-Spyker is indeed there. Amazing cars, truly. Oddly, they're on the concourse, not the show flow. There's a Spyder and a C8 coupe. Coupe is ubersex.

-Aston DBS. Yes, its not new. It's still sex.

-ZR1 and production Camaro SS. Tucked away in the GM booth, behind the Malibus and Buick Allures. I couldn't figure that one out either. Oh, and the ZR1's info sheet says that the price for the model "seen here" is 83K. I'm buying 10 tomorrow at that price.

-2010 BMW Z4. It's bigger, nicer, and quite a bit better looking in real life.

-Audi A5/S5 cabriolet.

-2010 Mustang, and Mustang GT500 KR, which is even more frightening looking in real life.

-2010 Ford Fiesta. Holy fuckbeans, that is perhaps the coolest looking little car ever. I'd be surprised if it didn't outsell the Fit and Yaris by a factor of 10 to 1. Each.

-New wing for the Evo X. Whatever.

-A very solid contingent of concourse booths. To be honest, touring the various booths up there was easily as good as the show floor; some of those exhibitors brought some impressive stuff with them!

All in all, you can expect to spend probably 2-4 hours in there before you see it all; not a bad deal for $15 bucks. Hell, I spent a couple hours talking to the Spyker guy alone. Fuck, those things are so goddamn cool. Every single little detail is just amazing.

[skyxx]

^ Thanks for the Info!!! :)

You missed the most important part....

Are there lots of freebies?!? [good freebies]

[1983 Z28]

A few reasons I forgot:

-Lexus IS-C. Meh, its wierd, but all you fanboys will be on it like flies on shit.

-Lexus HS250. Even wierder.

-2010 VW Golf. Nifty, actually.

Freebies, I dunno, the press gets different stuff anyway but I did see VW pushing their diesels cleanliness by handing out rags the tdi tailpipes to see if they burn clean, which I thought was innovative.Oh, they were handing out unscented air fresheners too, to cover the tdi's nonexistent diesel smell. :)

[2blunt]

I got free admission because of the Prius thing...so yea I guess I'll go.

see u there:thumbsup:

[L-Dawg]

AJR and their GTR w/ CF roof will be there.

Happy to hear that who ever went so far, is happy with the floor plan! I am the one who for the past 3 years has drawn it up and worked hand in hand with the New Car Dealers trying to bring the best layout possible for everyone to be able to see what the world of cars has to offer!

[JSALES]

i don't think i'm gonna go, seems like there's too many fuel efficient cars

[Gh0stRider]

not worth it

[GC8]

not worth it

+1 just came back

[1exotic]

Anyone have pictures from the supercar section and the matte black murcie and R8 and other exotics? Won't be going to the show today but will Thursday.

Post them up!! the auto show sounds good this year!

[Synaptik]

not worth it

esp. now that ppl are posting photos.

^^^ they make nice cars??? anything done to it under hood? seems like any other shop, a paint job or vinyl job + rims...

only difference is they got access to exotics

exactly! Also, lots of money to play around with.

Whats in your garage? I am sure most of their cars can smoke whatever you are driving and make you look like you are going in reverse.

So, do they actually do any proper tuning? I still haven't heard an answer... Modifying expensive cars with expensive engine bolt-ons doesn't make you a tuner. A shop like F-Fed or G5 is, despite the fact that they work on "cheaper" cars.

You are here contributing to the fire instead of moderating and you call yourself a moderator? Have fun explaining to your superiors as to why one of your sponsors is about to cancel sponsoring. Its one thing when members add fuel to the fire but you are something else. You are in a league of your own. Well done :thumbsup:

Not my area to moderate. And I'm merely calling out your claim that SR's portfolio includes... well, I'm not sure. That's why I asked.

Oh, and I didn't particularly like the fact that you're attempting to insult a well established member of the site. :rolleyes:

And that makes it okay? I would have thought they would have screened ppl that would have the ability to moderate. They obviously let you slipped thru the crack on this one.

And it is okay for an established member to be insulting paying sponsors of this site? :rolleyes: Get your priorities straight. Not only am I insulting him now but I am insulting you... why? because you are a failure and a bad example to the rest of the members.

Note that you stated my claims regarding SR portfolio... where did you read that? I suggest you go get some corrective lenses.

[dk_wasabi]

Shops like SR cannot even be grouped into the same category.

They are modifying vehicles in a completely different class.

Have you even heard of SR Auto Group? If not, I suggest you do your research prior to posting such comments as a moderator.

sounds like monkeybiz is pmsing.

you know you can shut us all up by showing us the "portfolio" we are all here because we love cars. while all the exotic by SR is drool worthy, nothing is known abt what is underhood and the possible tuning that went into it.

I would love to know whats going on under the hood.

otherwise i can put on rims and 3m bodykit myself in my garage too, only difference is i dunt have no lambo and r8.

[threezero]

please enlighten me. i like car pic, and i like them more when there is write up/spec to go along with it.

:rofl:

Are you freakin' kidding? A tuner is a tuner is a tuner. It doesn't matter if you're modifying an H22a in a Civic, a T6 in a Volvo, or the 5.2 V10 in an R8. The mechanical knowledge is the exact same, regardless of what engine it is.

SR Auto Group is a Revscene sponsor? That's news to me... especially since they aren't listed anywhere in the Vendor list.

You can call it pmsing if you want. I am just speechless as to what kind of class some members and moderator display on this site. Its constant non stop bashing.

SR never claimed to be a performance tuner. You are trying to compare two totally different things. Its like comparing Japanese cuisine vs Italian cuisine.

You can put on rims and 3m bodykit in your garage... yes you are correct. And yes the difference is that you dont have no Lambo and R8.

[1983 Z28]

SR Auto Group is just our own little Unique Whips. You know, throw some D's on an expensive car, sand off the gloriously applied stock paint to replace it with some primer, and called it "SRed" while tugging on your t-shirts shoulders and leaning back.

Then, bitch 30 years later about how you found a sweet Lamborghini in someone's garage, and you want to restore it, but some douchefag swapped out the original leather for some Gucci logo fabric and ostrich hide, the original wheels were replaced by some garish two-tone "rims," and the whole car would have to be shipped back to Italy to get the original paint reapplied.

Seriously.

Do you think any of their shit will look good in 5 years? Fuck, 3 years even? Just another shop full of two-bit hacks all too willing to accept the business of the overindulgent, unappreciative, trust fund and criminal classes.

[MonkeyBiz]

You are entitled to your own opinion but if you think their business is serving overindulgent, unappreciative, trust fund and criminal classes I would like to see where your accusations are coming from. Just coz you cant afford it doesnt mean ppl that can afford it are getting finer things in life thru illegal means. I am sure lots of ppl still work hard for their money and you are making false assumptions/accusations. If you dont have facts to back you up I suggest you dont say anything coz it makes you look like an idiot.

Reality check. You dished it out first. Now you got it back. Handle it like a man because right now you sound like one of these guys...

... after seeing one of these cars at Aberdeen. I bet you can't even lift a wrench much less know what the fuck BUILDING a car really is.

So turn your computer off, pick up your Work wheels catalogue, choke your 2" penis and let real men talk.

[MonkeyBiz]

So why was dk_wasabi so defensive if threezero's comment was apparently correct?

Thats a question you ask him/her. I dont see how threezeros comment was ::apparently:: correct. Like I said... not every tuner or whatever you want to call it is about horsepower. Some people like all show... some people like all go. If the car is fast enough in its stock form and the owner feels that their is no need to make it go faster great! Why not make the car look more unique by playing with styling ques from the exterior such as wheels or paint? Get my drift?

[1exotic]

Wow this thread just went out of control....

Seriously. Fuck you, and fuck your shitty grasp of English. I know everyone's sick of seeing the "learn to write" posts, but seriously. You need to learn to fucking write.

Now. We all know you work for them, we all know this is YOUR business we're lambasting, and we all don't give a flying fuck. Welcome to the backlash of killing the local enthusiast community with your Fast and Furious inspired bullshit. You "build" these cars for your "portfolio" of customers and then come on here insulting our low opinions of your cars? What, you feel we're not entitled to be a wee bit less than impressed with a bunch of "exotics" that have had ABSOLUTELY NO MECHANICAL WORK done to them? Go fuck yourself.

And you know what, how about this. Take your sense of entitlement and shove it up your ass. How about you prove to ME that you haven't taken a dime from someone that earned it in the drug trade? How about that?
You dumb fuck.

You've got an epileptic's chance at a laser light show on here.

PS: The duplicate accounts fool no one.

PPS: Why not fuck with the "exterior ques like wheels and paint?" Lets see. Wheel and tire combination being the first thing the suspension engineers determine before actually building the suspension and determining spring and damper rates, there's a pretty damn good reason not to fuck with them; it's called handling. Oh, and the paint... well, lets see... Ching Chong Wing Wong down at your local bodyshop doesn't have shit on the paint booths at the manufacturer's plants.

I'm speechless at your inability to argue a point. Trying to somehow pull on the heartstrings of people who really don't give a shit with your wounded bashed member approach.

Reality check. You dished it out first. Now you got it back. Handle it like a man because right now you sound like one of these guys...

... after seeing one of these cars at Aberdeen. I bet you can't even lift a wrench much less know what the fuck BUILDING a car really is.

So turn your computer off, pick up your Work wheels catalogue, choke your 2" penis and let real men talk.

Kev

Great come back. Spoken like a true man. You are a real man now with your penis comments and pictures of asian men/boys/girl? saved on your photobucket album. ethugging at its finest. yeah yeah I cant lift a wrench blah blah bah and I am so hurt blah blah blah. You are the one with the inability to argue to a point coz you are the one resorting to replying in an immature manner. Think 3 or 4 times before you speak coz if you dont you might end up looking like a fool like now.

[MonkeyBiz]

Seriously. Fuck you, and fuck your shitty grasp of English. I know everyone's sick of seeing the "learn to write" posts, but seriously. You need to learn to fucking write.

Now. We all know you work for them, we all know this is YOUR business we're lambasting, and we all don't give a flying fuck. Welcome to the backlash of killing the local enthusiast community with your Fast and Furious inspired bullshit. You "build" these cars for your "portfolio" of customers and then come on here insulting our low opinions of your cars? What, you feel we're not entitled to be a wee bit less than impressed with a bunch of "exotics" that have had ABSOLUTELY NO MECHANICAL WORK done to them? Go fuck yourself.

And you know what, how about this. Take your sense of entitlement and shove it up your ass. How about you prove to ME that you haven't taken a dime from someone that earned it in the drug trade? How about that?
You dumb fuck.

You've got an epileptic's chance at a laser light show on here.

PS: The duplicate accounts fool no one.

PPS: Why not fuck with the "exterior ques like wheels and paint?" Lets see. Wheel and tire combination being the first thing the suspension engineers determine before actually building the suspension and determining spring and damper rates, there's a pretty damn good reason not to fuck with them; it's called handling. Oh, and the paint... well, lets see... Ching Chong Wing Wong down at your local bodyshop doesn't have shit on the paint booths at the manufacturer's plants.

I didnt know the Grammar Police partol this forum too. It amazes me you took the time to even type that out :thumbsup: I am not going to argue with you coz you are a waste of my time.

*** I am no way affiliated with SR Auto Group... hell I dont even live in Vancouver anymore *** Carry on with your racist comments :thumbsup: You got class and attitude that will make you set for life :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

SR Auto Group is just our own little Unique Whips. You know, throw some D's on an expensive car, sand off the gloriously applied stock paint to replace it with some primer, and called it "SRed" while tugging on your t-shirts shoulders and leaning back.

Then, bitch 30 years later about how you found a sweet Lamborghini in someone's garage, and you want to restore it, but some douchefag swapped out the original leather for some Gucci logo fabric and ostrich hide, the original wheels were replaced by some garish two-tone "rims," and the whole car would have to be shipped back to Italy to get the original paint reapplied.

Seriously.

Do you think any of their shit will look good in 5 years? Fuck, 3 years even? Just another shop full of two-bit hacks all too willing to accept the business of the overindulgent, unappreciative, trust fund and criminal classes.

ever heard of vinyl?
do they care if the car will be still in style for 3 yrs? they will just get a new car to play with in 3 months, well its something that a guy that drive a 30 year old rusted land rover won't ever understand.:rolleyes:

[!SG]

SR doesnt pay for sponsorship though...

we've discuessed it years ago both me and cyrus and it doesnt make sense for SR to sponsor RS as we dont cater to enough of their demographics.



And that makes it okay? I would have thought they would have screened ppl that would have the ability to moderate. They obviously let you slipped thru the crack on this one.

And it is okay for an established member to be insulting paying sponsors of this site? :rolleyes: Get your priorities straight. Not only am I insulting him now but I am insulting you... why? because you are a failure and a bad example to the rest of the members.

Note that you stated my claims regarding SR portfolio... where did you read that? I suggest you go get some corrective lenses.

[threezero]

dunt get me wrong. i love to see revolution car pics and sr exotic. but until they put out cars with real mechnical work + tuning, they are just a fancy parts retailer that will help you put bolt on parts, bodykit and rims on the car.

I will still go to them if i need part and they have good price.

style is very subjective and we could argue all day about what a hot looking car is. power gain through skillful mechanic work and tuning is indisputable.

MORE PICS FROM AUTOSHOW

people can open a shop and do whatever business they please. clearly, someone is buying from them or the owners have enough money to burn to stay in business.

going on thurs! thanks for the coupon!

[!SG]

hey, i did that when i worked at advance. mainly cuz i liked working on cars and liked documenting my attempts at working on them!

nothing wrong with taking pictures of ur work and final outcome!

i just dont get where all this hate is coming from... u complain when there is nothing posted and RS becomes "boring". you complain when a shop posts up pictures of some some products they carry, work they have done which does include slapping on a set of rims. it aint that easy. anyone can slap a set of rims on a car, but to calculate size of the rim, width of the rim, offset that looks best, then a tire to work with that size of rims... it aint easy, its an art. it took me some time to figure out to go with 20s on my car. then the width, then the offset. then the rolled fenders. then the spacers to make them look even better. then realizing now, i could have gone even wider to begin with! dont u think i want a 5in lip!!! now i know i can, now i know i can run a 20x11 +40 ish offset...

Oh come on ! I bring my exotics to SR and I'm still on Revscene :D

[!SG]

the autoshow was ok, not as many cars but u know what, left more room to actually circle around the car and look at it! didnt feel too cramped!

the big surprise was the nissan kube. i love that car and yes i may look gay driving one!

i was disappointed in not seeing any a6/s6/whatever6 avants. thats what i really wanted to see but north american market dont like station wagons.

SL63 is sex.

spyker or whatever u call them is fucking AWESOME!

SR's black theme was noice! and cyrus looked tired... so for u guys that are going there, go give him a hug, and tell him its from shoei, cuz he looks like he needed one. =)

[The_AK]

i'm going on thursday too with my pops, should be interesting to see since i may be in the market for a new car soon

[!SG]

then tell cyrus that.

honestly, i agree with him though, not many guys on here gonna buy maya's.

Oh come on ! I bring my exotics to SR and I'm still on Revscene :D

[!SG]

i went because i wanted to check out the venza from toyota. im seriously thinking of replacing the highlander with one. also so i can finally fullfill my want of a station wagon.

Wow, talk about pms.

Anyways, we need more pictures!

[!SG]

and you sir, has bought into the rebadging, renaming twist to the plot.

they change a few things, make it look fancier, give it a new category. but at the end of the day, u look at what it is, its just a tall station wagon. it sits up a few inches higher than ur avg sedan, its interior is a tad taller, but i wouldnt say much taller than ur average sedan. but its not as tall as a minivan, and the clearance isnt as much as a suv.

to me, its a stationwagon.

i dunt know i think you shouldn't have your final verdict until you have driven it. isn't the whole stationwagon thing is so you can have a car that handle like a sedan yet still have enough space to haul a few tvs around?

unless you have already driven it and it indeeds handle like a stationwagon should, than I will shut my mouth right now.

rofl i'd buy it. Hows the Mitsu i-Miev? ahhaha it looks like a bug...

[!SG]

scheduling the appointment later on when i have more free time to do so.

but sitting in it, sure feels like one. last time i checked, goign to the autoshow meant not being able to drive the vehicle.

its a toyota, it wont disappoint, unless my expectations are set that it should drive and handle like a supra, then my judgement is fucked from the beginning.

Dude you got some serious hate locked up in you, gotta work on you anger management. Are you just jealous of ppl who have more money, and can afford exotic cars? Seems like you're just hating on all them. If they got the money, and they want to trick out their cars, LET THEM.

Why are you bashing SR so much? What did they ever do to you??

Personally I think SR Auto Group is an awesome company. The cars they work on are really nice, and yes most of them are exspensive. They take beautiful cars to begin with, add a few personalized details, and presto, ART.

I want to ask you one thing. Have you ever been to SR, met anyone that works there? I went to their booth at the autoshow yesterday, and met the manager personally. He was really kind and friendly, and was willing to spend time explaining all the modification they've done to the cars on display. I only drive a modest Civic, I'm no high roller. But I appreciate the finer things in life, and that LP640 roadster they had on display was beautiful.

At the end of the day, everything said and done. SR Auto Group does great work. And I'm sure they work very hard to build up their reputable name, so owners of such exotic cars will go to their shop to get work done on their cars. So dude, lighten up and give them a break...

HAHA...and the matte black LP640 is SOOOO nice, I still can't get over it. Probably the most expensive car there right, around 500,000??? Haha wish i could take that car out for a spin in my batman costume!!!

HAHAHa! i must agree with you. my friend went to SR with his mazda 3 once to look for springs, i told him they only did exotic n wont care much about his car ( hahaha) but you know what, ended up buying a set of springs brecause of their great cusomter service. I believe the person who sold it to us was freddie???

HAHA you dah man, said what I couldn't say!!!!!

[SpuGen]

Don't know if you guys noticed, but it was MonkeyBiz that was being cocky in the first place.

- Giving someone shit because they drive an "inferior" car?
- Threatening sponsorship when SR doesn't even sponsor RS?
- Started the bullshit because someone poked fun at SR Auto's work?

Sorry, but putting rims/tires on a car and getting Bismark next door to do all the body work doesn't count as "art" or "tuning" Get the stock wheel/tire specs, grab a ruler, go outside, and do some math. Walk 3 feet and get Mr Siu to do some body work. Yeah, real artistic there guys.

Hell, wheel fitment specs could probably be found on 6speedonline. I'm not hating on SR, but other than a bunch of expensive wheels, a desk, and a computer.. they don't look like they do anything else. But good on them for having a successful business that caters to people with money. I just don't see how people think that your shop is the best tuning shop in the Lower Mainland just because you guys put wheels on exotics.

[vo_hantu]

RS has a bunch of pussies and haters...

you put on a wing, you are automatically a ricer
you put mods to track your car, you are an even MORE ricer
your car has a factory, stock wing and you are a ricer
you put on dubs on a car, they call you a poser or make fun of you for slowing your car down
you wear flashly clothes, they call you a gangster
you put HID's and you are a ricer

no point arguing with a bunch of idiots

If any of the people (including myself) owned a bawlin' car, chances are 1) you wouldn't even waste your time here 2) mod your car at a shop like SR for example. Are you going to go all the way to the AC Schintzer/Hamann/HRE/Rays factory and order you own rims. Bullshit you'd go to a local tuner shop and get it done. BUNCH OF HYPOCRITS.

PS. why the fuck would these guys want to mod their engine. I'm sure they have, but realistically if their car does 0-60 in like 3.x seconds, how much faster do you want to go on the streets before killing someone. Most I'd do is an exhaust, then go aesthetics.

Anyway, I can't wait to go to the car show...cars look good.

I take my hat off to MonkeyBiz, this ones for you

Whats the point in sharing a building, when you aren't even going to share business?

[MonkeyBiz]

Whats the point in sharing a building, when you aren't even going to share business?


And why is that a concern to you?

[!SG]

bismark gets contracted cars from dealerships all around town, so they dont always have the time to work on a project car, even if its for its closest neighbor. and working at a car shop, the final 2 weeks is madness. getting a car ready for the car show, working on multiple cars, your own show cars, your regular customer cars.

ever try to get ur car in for some work in the 2 weeks up to a car show? yeah, not happening.

you ever noticed how full and busy the parking lot is at bismark? its busy for a reason, because they may actually be working on cars inside. =)

[carsncars]

Um. Anyways. Auto Show--not worth paying $10-15 for. If you get in cheaper or for free, sure.

Forget this whole SR thing.
Tuner shop or not... its a business, a service. Customer pays and get what they want.

Stop being all childish and get back on topic.

Anyways,

I actaully quite enjoyed the autoshow this year. Maybe because I chose to go on Wednesday afternoon where it was not too busy. Really got the time to check out the cars and products. Most companies did bring a good line up of cars there and I'm surprised there weren't any concept vehicles.

For $10, I think its worth going to.

I agree, i went there on weds afternoon too, not too crowded +1

it was okay, SR's cars are pretty amazing as well as the staff, they wore suits! i have never seen shops workers dressed so professionally before. that was a surprise. well, the cars, meh.. the lambo and r8 is cool, but it's not OMG OMG OMG jizz good.

aj-r's GTR was very nice. the exhaust was huge!

one thing i found weird was that Lexus got shafted up at the top. wtf? at least they let ppl sit in the IS-F, that was pretty cool.

checked out the genesis, not bad
and the 370z is AWESOME wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than 350z

it was okay, only spent 2 hours in there

[some_punk]

I am suprised both the Camaro and 370z were opened up. Both being a new release.

And SR is just a middle man according to brian jessel bmw.

[Harvey Specter]

I really want to go check out the new Camaro.

The camero was okay, got to sit in it but nothing special...

All I know is I want to buy one. not much rear head room but who cares.

[RedDragoon16]

Hmm...the auto show looks aite...I think I ma go again.

[!SG]

thats the thing. some shops show clearly whom are sales staff, and whom are the mechanics that make it happen. if you go to a car dealership, the sales men usually are fairly well dressed. would you buy a car off someone in greasy overalls? with that being said, the mechanics, the guys that do the tire mounting, are the REAL guys that make it happen for you. some shops are all in wonder shops, the head sales, is also a mech that helps in the back, and so forth. might even be a more relaxed atmosphere so casual attire is ok.

and yeah, i gotta agree, the new 370z looks pretty damn nice in person. the pictures just didnt do it justice...

the is-c just looks weird to me, like a copy of the solara convertible...

Middle man for what?

And "1exotic", you take some NICE pictures dude, keep up the good work !!!

Not loving the new headlights on the 370Z, but that rrear third fog light thingy in the bottom is freaking hot !!!

Hey, what do you guys think of the Spyker's? It's love it or hate it. I know they cost lots off $$$, but man...sooo ugly !!!

AND OMG...SOMEONE SCRATCHED BEN'S GT-R....poor guy, went by the booth and a nasty line accross the hood...

[!SG]

i think he means that those cars are SR customer cars. SR doesnt own them, and the customers loan them to SR to display. Any shop develops a long standing relationship with some customers, returning customers. A project car doesnt have to be owned by the shop.

Did you notice how some cars are putting the 3rd brake light into the bumper or sil or trunk, not located behind the rear windshield? it clued in on me when looking at all the new cars coming out.

Someone actually walked up and scratched it intentionally? Or someone accidentally brushed against it?

[The_AK]

After sitting in the genesis only thing i really disliked was the buttons for the window. Its positioned awkwardly and would be a nuisance to use; really didn't like what they did with it. Other than that, the car is pretty cool. Would be interested to take it for a test drive to see how it handles.

I don't know, have to ask Ben that one. But still...feel so bad for him, put his beautiful GT-R on display for us to enjoy, and all he gets is a scratch.

[lilaznviper]

i got free tickets for the auto show so now im going to go on sunday
hopefully some nice decent cars

I saw so many people I know there tonight.. it was surreal. And I was only there for about 1 hour.

I was glad to see the spykers there. One day, if I ever actually make money selling cars (lol), I'd like to start my own company like Spyker, except with better looking cars. :D

I can't wait for the Fiesta and Transit to hit our lot. I'm going to sell soooo many of those.

[revek9]

i rather see more pics of the show....

Just got back myself.

The Flex is really nice. I can't believe it's $52k though!

The Fiesta will do big things for Ford. Great looking car.

i don't know you took the pictures before it started, but it seems like there isn't a lot of poeple and good cars.. so sad.. DTP isn't on this year..

[Evolutionian]

regardless of how much is done under the hood of the R8..

its an R8.. i drive a modded mazda3.. and am drooling all over that R8 everytime i see it..

same with everytime when i see a lambo..

i respect exotic cars regardless of how one got it..

if their parents bought it for them.. they got lucky to have those kinda of parents.. if they're drug dealers.. they got lucky and made enought money without going to jail.. who really cares.. its their life..

SR autogroup is a successful company that has customer with R8, lambos, porches.. not many shops actually have those kinda of cars visiting.. you may be right they're stock.. and no mechanical work was ever done.. just think how much mechanical work and technology has already been put into it.. i wouldnt touch the engine of an R8, lambo, porche, or whatever exotics if i ever drive one..

and to those people that are so proud of their cars with full engine work..

good for you. but its still not an R8,Lambo, or whatever exotics..

i swear i probably would get smoke by a fit.. or civic ef, or some 1990 GTR R32s.. but like i said who cares? im comfortable in my car that i like..

and to those dissing SR autogroup.. just drop the hate.. i'd be happy to have 50% of their success..

excuse my english.. lol

lolz, i dun get why ppl have such big reactions about SR group. Any business that makes money is a good business, that's the end of that. If u'r so upset about their practices, go to ur local newspaper & report them. Better yet, open ur own business to steal their clients.

exactly.. there are more un-ethical shops.. basically all over the place.. lol
